The property (including a car) of a deceased person is called the person's "estate". If the person has left a will then the person appointed in the will to "execute" the person's wishes (as set out in the will) is responsible for passing title of the car to the person it has been left to.
If there is no will then the laws of your country/state will appoint someone to administer the estate and to whom the persons estate should be distributed. If you have a valid claim on the estate you should contact this person.

How do you register car with no title or will when previous owner is dead?
You can not register a car that you do not own. The car is owned by the estate of the deceased individual. The estate gets the title and then you buy it from the estate. Some legal process must occur to distribute the estate of a person who has died. Usually, someone is legally named the executor of the estate and had authority to settle the estate in a manner consistent with a will, if one exists. If no will, exists, the executor still has the power to sell or give away the items owned by the deceased. Technically, it is the estate which owns the car, with or without a title. If you want to become the onwer of the car you must have it transferred by the estate. It is the estate (and the executor is the agent for the estate) who must acquire title to the car. With appropriate documentation, such as a certificate of death and legal documentation identifying the executor, the executor can request a new title from the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles. That title may be in the name of the deceased or in the name of the estate. The estate owns the car. Only after the estate has the title can the estate sell or gift the car to someone.

How do you get vehicle registration for deceased fathers car?
In this state you can not simply get a registration for your deceased father's car! It is not that simple. If your father owned the car outright, it is first necessary to fill out paperwork to have the title transferred. In this state that is done through the Department of Motor Vehicles. One procedure is followed if the estate is being probated, a different procedure is followed if the estate is not being probated, that is if basically all he owned was the car and the clothes on his back. Each state has its own rules.

If your name and your deceased spouse name is on your car title and you want to trade in this car can you do this without removing deceased spouse name from car title in the state of Texas?
If you and your deceased spouse were listed as "OR" on the title, it only takes on signature to release the title to the new owner. However, if the names were listed with "AND", then both signatures would be required. Since this is no longer physically possible, you need to take the title, along with the certificate of death, to the motor vehicle office and have your deceased spouses name removed from said title before you even attempt to sell or trade in this auto.
If your car has your mothers and your name on the title but she is deceased how does this affect you if it is repossessed?
